works best with boy puppet

Leader- Our friend Puppet has been having some trouble with a so called friend. The devil has set a trap for him and I don’t think he even realizes it.

Puppet-(enters with a chip on his shoulder) What’s the big deal? My mom said I could hang out at his house.

Leader-What about watching that gang movie?

Puppet- Well she didn’t specifically tell me not to watch it, besides, I think GOD will understand if I watch a movie that isn’t about Moses sometimes.

Leader- This doesn’t even sound like you Puppet. You are starting to change and it is definitely not for the better.

Puppet- Me and my new friend have lots of fun together. What’s the difference?

Leader- Who we hang out with does make a difference

Puppet- Can we do something besides pick on me?

Leader- I was just getting ready to start our lesson about Samson. Why don’t you just sit here and listen.

Puppet- Whatever

Leader- Samson had great strength because GOD told his parents never to cut his hair. Then Samson met a Philistine woman named Delilah. And if you
             don’t think the friends we choose and the people we choose to be close with don’t make a difference, just listen. The Philistines were enemies
             of Samson’s people and they used Delilah to get the secret of Samson’s strength. She pretended to love him and he believed her. Delilah finally
             tricked Samson into telling her his secret of strength. Delilah cut Samson’s hair while he slept. This took away his strength. The philistine then
             captured Samson, gouged out his eyes, and kept him as a prisoner. Are you getting this Puppet?

Puppet- Is this hair story a trick to get me to stop hanging out with my new friend?

Leader- No Puppet, this lesson was planned before you got here

Puppet- Well it does have me thinking, but my new friend seems so normal.

Leader- He is normal, but he don’t know JESUS. Who we hang out with makes a difference. We need to watch the way others behave and pray to
             GOD for wisdom when choosing to hang out with them.

Puppet- maybe your right. My friend is not interested in Jesus or coming to church. He is pulling me down.

Leader- We can pray for him Puppet

Puppet-Yeah, I wouldn’t want what happened to Samson to… Hey! What did happen to Samson?

Leader- Samson turned his life back to GOD and regained his strength

Puppet- Wow, God really cares for HIS people!

Leader- He sure does and he cares for your friend too. We will pray for him and instead of hanging around him you should pray for him too.

Puppet- Thanks! That’s exactly what I’m going to go do! Sorry if I was rude, do you forgive me?

Leader- Of course I do Puppet. I love you and JESUS loves you too.

Puppet- I know HE does, that is why I am going to choose HIM over anything else or anyone from now on.

Leader- Good thinking!

Puppet- I gotta run now, I need to go pray for my friend.

Leader- Bye Puppet!

Puppet- Bye everybody! (exits)
